Detailed Implementation

[0032] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an udon noodle processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first frame 1, a scraper 12 is provided at the top of the first frame 1, a thickness adjuster 11 for adjusting the scraper 12 is provided on the side of the first frame 1, a shredding assembly 13 is provided on the side of the first frame 1 and below the scraper 12, a conveyor belt 14 is provided below the shredding assembly 13, and a separating plate 15 is provided at the top of the conveyor belt 14.

[0034] A second frame 19 is provided at the end of the first frame 1 and connected to the discharge end of the conveyor belt 14; a stretching mesh belt 16 is provided inside the second frame 19; a compartment guide plate 17 is provided on one side of the stretching mesh belt 16; a cutting blade 18 is provided on one side of the compartment guide plate 17; a compartment funnel 20 is provided on the side of the second frame 19 and below the cutting blade 18; a receiving box 21 is provided below the compartment funnel 20; a mesh bag 22 is provided on one side of the receiving box 21; and a cooling water tank 23 is provided on one side of the mesh bag 22.

[0035] The slicing assembly 13 includes a frame 131; a slicing roller 3 is disposed inside the frame 131, and multiple slices are disposed on the surface of the slicing roller 3; a receiving block 31 is disposed on one side of the slicing roller 3; a first receiving roller 4 is disposed inside the frame 131 and above the receiving block 31; a second receiving roller 41 is disposed below the first receiving roller 4; an adjusting roller 42 is disposed at the middle position between the first receiving roller 4 and the second receiving roller 41; a sliding notch 132 is opened on the side of the frame 131; a connecting strip 5 is slidably connected inside the sliding notch 132; the end of the adjusting roller 42 is rotatably connected to the connecting strip 5; a driving assembly is disposed at the end of the connecting strip 5 away from the adjusting roller 42; the driving assembly is used to drive the connecting strip 5 to move inside the sliding notch 132.

[0036] Existing udon noodle production equipment requires rolling the dough into sheets before slicing. The sheets are then cut into shreds by a slicing structure. However, in actual slicing operations, equipment vibration or errors in conveying speed can easily cause wrinkles in the sheets, leading to folds and reduced slicing efficiency. To address this issue, this invention provides an adjusting roller 42. During operation, the dough is rolled by a pressure roller, then excess flour is scraped off by a scraper 12, and finally slicing by the slicing assembly 13. Specifically, during slicing, the dough sheets are received by a first receiving roller 4 and a second receiving roller 41, and pressed against the side of the dough sheets by the adjusting roller 42. The driving assembly, via a connecting strip 5, drives the adjusting roller 42 to press against the side of the dough sheets, taut and preventing folds that could reduce slicing efficiency afterward. It should be noted that the conveyor belt 14 and the separating plate 15 are detachable.

[0037] like Figures 2 to 9 As shown, the driving assembly includes a friction plate 51; the end of the friction plate 51 is connected to the side of the connecting strip 5; a friction wheel 52 is provided on the bottom surface of the friction plate 51, and the wheel surface of the friction wheel 52 is in abutting contact with the bottom surface of the friction plate 51; a driving motor 53 is provided on the side of the friction wheel 52, and the output end of the driving motor 53 is connected to the center position of the side of the friction wheel 52; a mounting plate 54 is provided on the housing of the driving motor 53; a support assembly is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 54, and the support assembly is installed on the side of the frame 131; when the driving assembly is in use, the driving motor 53 starts, and the driving motor 53 drives the friction wheel 52 to rotate. The friction wheel 52 drives the friction plate 51 to move laterally through friction. The friction plate 51 drives the adjusting roller 42 to press against the surface through the connecting strip 5, and the pressing force is the same as the friction force between the friction wheel 52 and the friction plate 51; therefore, the pressing force of the adjusting roller 42 against the surface is constant, ensuring that the surface is pressed stably.

[0038] The support assembly includes a cylinder 6, with a piston 61 slidably mounted inside the cylinder 6. A push rod 62 is mounted on the top of the piston 61. The top of the push rod 62 is connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 54. The cylinder 6 is mounted on the side of the frame 131. An inflation pipe 63 is connected to the side of the cylinder 6. An air pump is connected to the external side of the inflation pipe 63. A pressure relief valve 64 is connected to the side of the cylinder 6. When in use, the air pump connected to the external side of the inflation pipe 63 is activated, and the cylinder 6 is continuously inflated. The pressure relief valve 64 keeps the air pressure inside the cylinder 6 constant. Therefore, the pressing force of the piston 61 on the mounting plate 54 through the push rod 62 is constant. Based on the force transmission characteristics, the pressing force of the friction wheel 52 on the friction plate 51 is constant, so the friction between the friction wheel 52 and the friction plate 51 is constant. This further ensures the stability of the pressing force of the adjusting roller 42 against the surface. It also prevents changes in friction due to wear of the friction wheel 52 or the friction plate 51, which would affect the use of the adjusting roller 42.

[0039] A cooling component is provided above the friction plate 51. When in use, the cooling component cools the friction plate 51 to prevent the friction plate 51 from generating too much heat due to friction and overheating the adjusting roller 42 through heat conduction, which would cause the adjusting roller 42 to overheat and heat the dough, affecting the normal use of the dough.

[0040] The cooling component includes an isolation frame 511, which is installed on the top of the friction plate 51. A water outlet 7 is installed on the side of the frame 131 above the isolation frame 511. A liquid inlet pipe 71 is connected to the top of the water outlet 7. A water pump is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 71. When cooling the friction plate 51, cooling water is intermittently input into the water outlet 7 through the water pump and the liquid inlet pipe 71. Then, the water is sprayed into the area on the top of the friction plate 51 that is isolated by the isolation frame 511. The water is then evaporated by the heat of the friction plate 51. This cooling method is faster than heat conduction cooling, and the cooling efficiency of the friction plate 51 is excellent.

[0041] A pair of hydraulic cylinders 8 are provided at the top of the frame 131, and a cutting element 81 is provided at the output end of the hydraulic cylinders 8. The cutting element 81 is used to cut the two sides of the sheet received by the adjusting roller 42. When in use, the position of the cutting element 81 is adjusted by the hydraulic cylinders 8 so that the cutting element 81 cuts off the irregular parts on both sides of the sheet, which facilitates the stability of the filaments afterward. It should be noted that a recycling box is provided below the cutting element 81 to receive the cut sheet.

[0042] The bottom end of the cutting piece 81 is attached to the surface of the adjusting roller 42; this ensures that the cutting piece 81 is in full contact with the adjusting roller 42, and ensures that the cutting of the sheet is comprehensive and complete.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, multiple partitions 9 are provided on the side of the receiving block 31 and below the cutting roller 3; the dough shreds cut by the cutting roller 3 are separated by the partitions 9; the cut dough shreds are divided to prevent the dough shreds from contacting and adhering together again when they are initially cut.

[0044] The partition 9 and the receiving block 31 are movable for easy disassembly.

[0045] The surface of the spacer 9 is smoothed to ensure that the dough fibers move smoothly between the spacers 9.

[0046] During operation, the dough is rolled by the pressure rollers, then excess flour is scraped off by the scraper 12, and finally shredded by the shredding assembly 13. Specifically, during shredding, the dough sheet is received by the first receiving roller 4 and the second receiving roller 41, and pressed against the side of the dough sheet by the adjusting roller 42. In use, the drive assembly drives the adjusting roller 42 to press against the side of the dough sheet via the connecting strip 5, so that the dough sheet is pressed taut to prevent the dough sheet from folding, which would reduce the shredding effect afterward by the shredding roller 3. When the drive assembly is in use, the drive... When motor 53 starts, it drives friction wheel 52 to rotate. Friction wheel 52 drives friction plate 51 to move laterally through friction. Friction plate 51 drives adjusting roller 42 to press against the surface through connecting strip 5. The pressing force is the same as the friction force between friction wheel 52 and friction plate 51; therefore, the pressing force of adjusting roller 42 against the surface is constant, ensuring stable pressing of the surface. During use, the air pump connected to air pipe 63 is started, continuously inflating cylinder 6. The pressure relief valve 64 keeps the air pressure inside cylinder 6 constant. Therefore... The piston 61 exerts a constant pressing force on the mounting plate 54 via the push rod 62, based on the force transmission characteristics; the friction wheel 52 exerts a constant pressing force on the friction plate 51, thus ensuring a constant frictional force between the friction wheel 52 and the friction plate 51; this further ensures the stability of the pressure exerted by the adjusting roller 42 against the surface; it also prevents changes in frictional force due to wear on the friction wheel 52 or the friction plate 51, which could affect the use of the adjusting roller 42; a cooling component is provided above the friction plate 51; during use, the cooling component cools the friction plate 51, preventing the friction plate 51 from becoming hot. 1. Excessive heat generated by friction will overheat the adjusting roller 42 through heat conduction, causing the adjusting roller 42 to overheat and thus heating the dough sheet, affecting the normal use of the dough sheet. When cooling the friction plate 51, cooling water is intermittently input into the water outlet 7 through a water pump and a liquid delivery pipe 71, and then sprayed into the area at the top of the friction plate 51 that is isolated by the isolation frame 511. The water is then evaporated by the heat of the friction plate 51. This cooling method is faster than heat conduction cooling, and the cooling efficiency of the friction plate 51 is excellent.

[0047] During operation, the position of the cutting element 81 is adjusted by the hydraulic cylinder 8, allowing the cutting element 81 to cut off the irregular parts on both sides of the sheet, facilitating the stability of subsequent filament formation. It should be noted that a recycling box is provided below the cutting element 81 to receive the cut sheet. The bottom end of the cutting element 81 is attached to the surface of the adjusting roller 42, ensuring that the cutting element 81 is in full contact with the adjusting roller 42, ensuring that the sheet is cut completely and thoroughly. The filaments cut by the filament cutting roller 3 are separated by the partition 9, dividing the cut filaments and preventing them from re-adhering together after the initial cutting. The partition 9 and the receiving block 31 are movably installed for easy disassembly. The surface of the partition 9 is smoothed to ensure that the filaments move smoothly between the partitions 9.
